Any opinions on this board. I just bought it and do not know much about this brand, I am allready thinking of upgrading to a parks dna 138 or a o'brien demented 141.

Thanx for any input on this board,

Michael

Michael Findley, you just bought the board and you are looking to upgrade, are you made out of money?

when i first started to wakeboard before i bought my own i rented a cwb prodigy 136. i Liked it a lot because of the molded fins and such, but now the i have a hyperlite tfd 136 i perfer it much more. it seems to have more grip when cutting in and out and it is way more stable..if you feel like you wanna try out new boards go for it. its all a personal preference to which ones you perfer.

I used to ride the prodigy in 2002-03 and it still my jib board feel free specially since i grind the middle fin Twisted Evil honnestly it's in my opinion a great board and don't say you will upgrade to something else cause it's already a promodel. Take the time to feel it it's a 3'' rocker board it's normal that you don't feel the speed out of the board....

Michael Findley, upgrading?!?! That is a very subjective term. IMO, it is not "upgrading" - you would be making a lateral move. (see what madness said)

CWB is as good if not better than (opinion!) than the others.

Tell me your likes/dislikes about that board, and I will tell you what board may be right for you.

chavez LOL on the "lateral move"

Michael Findley, our boat rides and dies CWB. I ride the 04 Prodigy and my bud rides the 04 Absolute.

From what I've learned the Prodigy is a little skiddier than the Absolute but over time you learn that your body and riding style make a certain board better for you. I was weary of it at first but now feel like that board was built for me. I'm 6"3"/200 lbs but I went with a 135cm board so I could be a little bit more versitile.

I'd never switch to another brand unless I got a sweet deal and if I was able to try out the board free.
